It didn’t take long for the tickets to disappear for the Rotary Club of the Battlefords’ 100th anniversary gala.
The gala, headlined by the appearance of Canadian astronaut and International Space Station commander Chris Hadfield, saw tickets made available on Dec. 2.
At the meeting of Battlefords Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Rotary’s Warren Williams reported to directors that the event, dubbed the “Out of this World” celebration, is now sold out.
“We’re turning people away by the droves,” Williams said. All 352 tickets were gone as of Dec. 12, he reported – just 10 days after the announcement.
The gala is happening April 24 in the evening at the Dekker Centre. Earlier in the day, Hadfield is scheduled for another event with local students at North Battleford Comprehensive High School at which over 1,100 people are expected to attend.
